This is the room in Dublin castle where the god-damned Brits nursed Connolly until he was we'll enough to be shot...in a chair. They had to change the law to allow execution of a seated man who was too sick to be tied to a pole.

Oh it is the biggest mix-up
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
Oh my father was an Ulsterman, proud Protestant was he
My mother was a Catholic girl, from County Cork was she
They were married in two churches, lived happily enough
Until the day that I was born and things got rather tough
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
Baptised by father Reilly, I was rushed away by car
To be made a little orangeman, my father's shining star
I was christened David Anthony, but still in spite of that
To my father I was William while my mother called me Pat
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
With mother every Sunday to mass I'd proudly stroll
Then after that the orange lads would try to save my soul
For both sides tried to claim me, but I was smart because
I played the flute or played the harp, depending where I was
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
One day my ma's relations came round to visit me
Just as my father's kinfolk were all sittin' down to tea
We tried to smooth things over, but they all began to fight
And me being strictly neutral, I bashed everyone in sight
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
Now my parents never could agree about my type of school
My learning was all done at home, that's why I'm such a fool
They both passed on, god rest them, but left me caught between
That awful color problem of the orange and the green
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
Yes it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green

Yesterday at the supermarket
Yesterday at the supermarket I'm scanning the fish for our Friday lent meal, I turn around and walking towards me was a stunning 20 something Irish lass dressed all in green, with lovely green knee socks, even green shamrock antlers. She was a vision I'll tell ya. And me who's usually never tongue tied, hesitated for a second or two as I just stared. Finally out with the only thing that came to my mind, " I Love You ".
She said, 'thank you sir I just came from a celebration of the green at city hall', and proceeded to do a jig for me in the market. I told her my name was Patrick and she finished her jig and hugged me. I said you're as lovely as a mornin in spring, and we went our ways.
Irish are the best - I do pity the rest

James Connolly - Black 47
James Connolly - Black 47
Marchin' down O'Connell Street with the Starry Plough on high
There goes the Citizen Army with their fists raised in the sky
Leading them is a mighty man with a mad rage in his eye
"My name is James Connolly - I didn't come here to die
But to fight for the rights of the working man
And the small farmer too
Protect the proletariat from the bosses and their screws
So hold on to your rifles, boys, and don't give up your dream
Of a Republic for the workin' class, economic liberty"
Then Jem yelled out "Oh Citizens, this system is a curse
An English boss is a monster, an Irish one even worse
They'll never lock us out again and here's the reason why
My name is James Connolly, I didn't come here to die..... "
And now we're in the gpo with the bullets whizzin' by
With Pearse and Sean Mcdermott biddin' each other goodbye
Up steps our citizen leader and roars out to the sky
"My name is James Connolly, I didn't come here to die...
Oh Lily, I don't want to die, we've got so much to live for
And I know we're all goin' out to get slaughtered, but I just can't take any more
Just the sight of one more child screamin' from hunger in a Dublin slum
Or his mother slavin' 14 hours a day for the scum
Who exploit her and take her youth and throw it on a factory floor
Oh Lily, I just can't take any more
They've locked us out, they've banned our unions, they even treat their animals better than us
No! It's far better to die like a man on your feet than to live forever like some slave on your knees, Lilly
But don't let them wrap any green flag around me
And for God's sake, don't let them bury me in some field full of harps and shamrocks
And whatever you do, don't let them make a martyr out of me
No! Rather raise the Starry Plough on high, sing a song of freedom
Here's to you, Lily, the rights of man and international revolution"
We fought them to a standstill while the flames lit up the sky
'Til a bullet pierced our leader and we gave up the fight
They shot him in Kilmainham jail but they'll never stop his cry
My name is James Connolly, I didn't come here to die.... "

'The Marsh Chapel Experiment, also called the "Good Friday Experiment," was a 1962 experiment conducted on Good Friday at Boston University's Marsh Chapel. Walter N. Pahnke, a graduate student in theology at Harvard Divinity School, designed the experiment under the supervision of Timothy Leary and the Harvard Psilocybin Project. Pahnke's experiment investigated whether psilocybin (the active principle in psilocybin mushrooms) would act as a reliable entheogen in religiously predisposed subjects.'
After having been administered the niacin placebo or psilocybin, the test subjects attended this beautiful and rather strange sermon by Rev. Howard Thurman.
The reverend is a historic figure in his own right. He was the first black man to become the Dean of Chapel at a predominantly white university; he conversed personally with Gandhi, who encouraged his Civil Rights efforts; and he mentored Martin Luther King, Jr., who was deeply influenced by his book Jesus and the Disinherited.
This recording is available on the MAPS website, but I wanted to make it more accessible for those interested. Also, I cleaned up a few spots that were glitchy. I'm interested in recreating this experiment on my own, listening to this sermon while on psychedelics.
Please support MAPS by spreading their media and giving financially when able. If you're interested in learning more about the experiment, check out the links below.

If not for the shamrock there might never have been a saint Patrick.
And as we all know the shamrock is an ancient strain of the ceremonial indica plant.

If you recite this mantra over and over again you will achieve enlightenment
https://youtu.be/ebulR9HNvY8
O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside
The summer's gone and all the roses dying
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so
And when you come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me
And I shall hear, though soft your tread above me
And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me

A funny story about St. Patrick's Day...
I was in a blue van, I'm not sure what make & model, I'm guessing Chevrolet...anyways Doug was the driver, on an earlier or later tour, I forget which, Doug had tuned his Harley Davidson in my garage, much to the amazement of my parents. Doug had a beautiful, full color "ice cream kid" tattoo on his arm before it was the trendy thing to have tattooed on your arm. I remember my dad's look of being impressed at at Doug tuning the motorcycle in our garage...Doug was maybe two years older than myself. Doug was with me when we went on a true lot rumor to see "Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions" at Red Rocks Amphitheater, we camped at Boulder Creek for days after the news about Brent.
The funny story was drinking green beer in a bowling alley outside of Hartford, Connecticut because it was the only place we could find to drink beer on St. Patrick's Day 1990.

Jerry Garcia's name doesn’t sound too Irish, but his ancestry is actually composed of Spanish, Irish and Swedish. The Grateful Dead legend was born August 1, 1942 to Jose Ramon "Joe" Garcia and Ruth Marie "Bobbie" (née Clifford) Garcia.

I was going to upload a bunch of my Ireland pics from when I lived there in 06 but apparently even those are too big for the site to allow. Sorry, it would've been cool. :)
As for St. Patrick, fuck that guy. I love the Irish, the country and the culture. But St. Patrick was a fucking Englishman who came in and raged against the true Irish religion bringing in his imported middle-eastern deity and in the process forever binding the country to a xtian slave mentality.
You really want to honor the Irish? Drink water from a sacred well and make an offering to the three-fold Goddess.
